Neighbor

we all have a neighbor, unless...

By Derek CooperPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Recently, a strange man frequented the apartment. Today, the security guard knocked on the door and reminded me to contact him as soon as I met this man. I perfunctory and hurried to see the guest off.

Talk about my neighbor, just moved to a girl, very cute, small, flashing big eyes, face pink Pupu Pupu, like a lovely doll. To be honest, it's my type, and I'm looking for a chance to touch it.

Look at the time has been eight o 'clock in the evening, recently black eye good heavy, took the medicine back to bed rest. The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door. It was the security guard who said that he had seen the strange man in the night again. He was wearing a mask and a hat, and was wrapped in a black coat.

At this time the next door neighbor opened the door, a cartoon pajamas is more lovely, I put on a smiling face and say hello to her, also reminded her recently unsafe to be careful, she clenched her small fist as if to say not afraid of bad people, I was amused, as a joke closed the door.

After a few days of peace and quiet, just after dinner, I was ready to rest early. Recently, the spirit is getting more and more tired, when the knock sounded, I opened the door, it was the neighbor girl. She said she was a little scared. She felt like someone was standing at the door every night, looking into the room through the peephole all the time. I invited her in, comfort, and gave her drinks and snacks, until ten o 'clock, she did not leave, leaving the red face said to me, "brother you are very gentle, thank you for accompanying me today." They smiled at each other, I closed the door, took the medicine and fell asleep.

In the days that followed, we interacted more and more and got on well with each other, so we invited her over for dinner every day. One day I just cooked dinner, she summoned up the courage to ask me "brother do you like me", I was a little stunned, looked her in the eye and asked her "what do you think like". She was also stunned by the question, and thought for a while before answering me, "Love is two people together forever." I smiled and touched her head and said, "Yes, like two people together all the time." She was very happy, and we talked a lot in the evening, and successfully established a relationship.

After that, every day was very sweet. We cooked together, went shopping together, and chatted hand in hand. It seemed that there were endless things to say and do waiting for us.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn, and my mobile phone rang. It was a call from the hospital, asking me how I was doing recently, and it was time to go to the hospital for reexamination. I don't seem to have much time recently. Let's wait for these busy days. When I walked out of the apartment, I met the security guard. He told me with a serious face that the strange man always stayed on our floor, asked me a few words, and told me that he would catch this man as soon as possible. I smiled and shrugged it off. I'd rather have the bad guy turn himself in than you catch him.

Back home in the evening, not for a while she came, this time crying red eyes, I quickly asked her what was wrong, she said still can not let go of the ex-boyfriend, ready to make up with him, my heart was hit hard, and she had a big fight, shut the door. I can't control my emotions anymore. I haven't liked such a person for a long time. She is like a simple and beautiful spirit, which brings me a lot of happiness and expectation. The sudden change made my headache more serious, quickly took medicine, sleep in the past.

For the next few days I became more and more tired and mentally worse. Although I did nothing, I could not get enough sleep. When I was awake, I had an unbearable headache and spent a few days holed up at home. Looking at the mirror wasting away, self-mockery is lovelorn will do so.

When I was about to go back to sleep, I received a phone call from her. She said that she was going to go back to her hometown these days. She promised to marry her ex-boyfriend and might not come back. I pretended to be calm, said a few words of blessing and hung up, feeling as if I had lost something.

This taste really uncomfortable, or go back to sleep, as if these days wake up less and less time, always sleep.

I slept at home for a few days, during which I occasionally woke up and didn't hear anything from the next door. I probably really left. The "love together forever" nonsense may only be believed by me. I went to the sink and looked for a long time at the undisturbed state of our people. Still cheer up, no one will love me forever.

Open the refrigerator to cook carefully, this time to do a lot of favorite dishes. Braised meat, Sixi balls, sweet and sour spareribs, I eat hard.

A few days later, there was a knock on the door, which was opened by two police officers, asking if I'd seen anyone suspicious lately, and the girl next door was missing. I thought about the strange man the security guard had mentioned some time ago, and hadn't heard of him recently. After a conversation, I closed the door. Looking at a table cooked today, it's still the same. Braised meat, Sixi balls, sweet and sour spareribs, are all favorite dishes, I came to the table to eat up.

"Yeah, like forever together."
